Tom...that is a beautiful looking picture...good luck with the rooting.

Mine, too  :)



They must send them in order of how good looking we are  :)

Lucky you.. When did you guys place your order?

I placed the order with the new system on 10-16-2012.

I sent my order in sometimes in September (old system). I got an email with order confirmation on Dec 6, 2012. I hope my order will be here any day now. Can't wait..

I put mine in in May and added to it in Oct.

i haven't heard anything on mine. 

Congrats, I don't remember hearing of them shipping this early for at least the past five years.

I'll add my two cents.  Put my order in prior to the new system, and did get a confirmation.  But, they may be shipping in waves, so we shall see!  Already working on next year's order, and I'll use the new system with a change of address in the Fed Ex system.  I'm with Harvey on this one.  I have never received any shipment from them this early.  Mostly in late March or early April.

Fear not, all ye who have not received!  Thee shall!  Be patient!~

Forgive my ignorance, but what are the cut off dates for placing a UCD scion order from one season to the next?

It's all here, and I try to beat the dates by getting my order in by May.  A lot to look through!  I think for 2014 you must order by end of Nov.  I always order earlier.  JMHO

Today tnrough the 1st of November for dormant cuttings.

Thank you Suzi and Jake!

Received my email today for my shipment. It is suppose to arrive Thursday.

My cuttings arrived today just as expected. I was pleasantly surprised that I received all six of the varieties that I requested including
Ischia Black and Black Madeira.

Mike, I assume one of those which they gave you only one cutting of is Black Madeira.  Which is the other?

Note: I've mistakenly taken the shortcut of using their tags for the label for one of the cuttings.  The ink did not last very long. :(

Just want Ischia Black, and still no news.

Harvey,

I made the same mistake especially on all the grape varieties I ordered a few years ago...Oh well. They are all wine varieties from Spain, Portugal and Italy so I'm mix them up and see what happens. ;-) I did manage to figure out the figs as I didn't order many and they were so different, easy to fix.

Harvey, one each of Black Madeira and Ischia Black and three each of the others Zidi, Col de Dame (don't know which variety) Panachee and VDB which I did not have
when I made the request but do now.

For once, I didn't wait until the last minute to get my order in.  I put mine in on 11.07.2012.  I didn't know they changed the cut off date to 11.01.2012 until a week later.  Actually, I am more bummed about the pomegranate and mulberry cuttings than the fig cuttings.  I'm not dissing the figs, rather I have enough to keep me busy thanks to the generosity of other forum members.

The col de dame from UCD is Col de dame blanc.

Chivas, thanks.

CdDB from UCD grows very well. i have two that i'm looking forward to figs this year. it put on the figs the year it was rooted. i had to knock 'em off. it does have slight FMV.. but what doesn't? :)
